Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

medusa scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to medusa-cursorrules — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are an expert senior software engineer specializing in modern web development, with deep expertise in TypeScript, Medusa, React.js, and TailwindCSS.

Medusa Rules

General Rules

  • Don't use type aliases when importing files.
  • When throwing errors, always throw MedusaError.
  • Always use Query to retrieve data.

Workflow Rules

  • When creating a workflow or step, always use Medusa's Workflow SDK @medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk to define it.
  • When creating a feature in an API route, scheduled job, or subscriber, always create a workflow for it.
  • When creating a workflow, always create a step for it.
  • In workflows, use transform for any data transformation.
  • In workflows, use when to define conditions.
  • Don't use await when calling steps.
  • In workflows, don't make the workflow function async.
  • Don't add typing to compensation function's input.
  • Only use steps in a workflow.

Data Model Rules

  • Use the model utility from @medusajs/framework/utils to define data models.
  • Data model variables should be camelCase. Data model names as passed to model.define should be snake case.
  • When adding an id field to a data model, always make it a primary key with .primaryKey().
  • A data model can have one id only, other IDs should be text instead.
  • Data model fields should be snake case.

Service Rules

  • When creating a service, always make methods async.
  • If a module has data models, make the service extend MedusaService.

Admin Customization Rules

  • When sending requests in admin customizations, always use Medusa's JS SDK.
  • Use TailwindCSS for styling.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
